This blog will be a journey through my quiltwork and some artwork and my life...sometimes the muse' is not active but I'll try I was a gourd artist until my hands gave out, now I thoroughly enjoy playing with fabric and paint. Enjoy most everything that nature has to offer.
Family and friends are very important. I live in the beautiful Peace River Area of northeastern BC.

I can not believe it has been so long since I have wrote in my blog! How can time go by so fast. We finally got summer, it was slow coming but have enjoyed some gorgeous weather.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SOME WORDS ARE SHOWING AS A LINK, DON'T CLICK ON THEM.

I have never sewn outside...well on a very hot day...my cousin and I sewing under the awning of the motor home. It was such a fun weekend, she only lives 50 miles away so a short trip :)

I was working on a new design. While cleaning up my fabric I ran across these taupes, they so reminded me of my Mom and her love for picking berries. Huckleberries, saskatoons, blueberries, strawberries...you get the picture. I am call it "Gramma's Berry Patch" My border fabric was too light so I took it off and tea-dyed it...perfect solution. Still have to quilt it and write up the pattern , I am happy with the design. What do you think.

Celtic Solstice (Bonnie Hunter mystery) finally found it's place in the motorhome.

About Me

I guess I've been somewhat of an artist all my life, since 1999 my canvas has been Mother Nature's Gift the gourd. Five years ago I started quilting, and now I'm moving out of the box to 'art quilts' I've joined two groups, Fast Friday Fabric Challenge and the Fiber & Stitch Group, they are both offering me the challenges that I need to think 'out of the box'. I also like to make traditional quilts, you might say I've developed a real fondness for fabric.
